Next Steps
Please fill out this Client Information Form (CIF) which includes the following information:

You must select a CMS vendor through your organization’s procurement process. The following CMS applications are eligible for the one-time funding opportunity:

Once you choose a vendor, you must submit an itemized quote for the full and final cost of the migration.
This quote will be used to draft the agreement between your organization and Ontario Health (OH) and OH cannot adjust funding amounts if the final invoice exceeds the quoted amount. If the final amount paid is less than the quoted amount included in the agreement, OH will recover the difference.
Examples of vendor costs to be reimbursed by One-Time Funding Opportunity
